Six charged over alleged NDIS fraud scheme after raids across Western Sydney
Six people have been charged over an elaborate plot to defraud the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) of up to $10 million over four years.
Key points:
- Police are examining $10 million worth of NDIS payments
- More than $2 million worth of assets were seized by police
- Five of the alleged fraudsters were granted bail
Five men and a woman — aged 22 to 34 — are accused of receiving large payments through three fraudulent NDIS providers since 2017.
Police allege the syndicate skimmed NDIS funding from disabled users of the scheme — providing inflated invoices to the NDIS for rebates.
They are also accused of working with the families and support persons of NDIS users to exaggerate their disabilities to get extra funding.
